Transcriber's notes

In the third line I think the author has omitted the page number where the traditional account is spelt out! If/when I come across it i will edit this note appropriately.
Similarly further down this commentary there is a missing page reference. I think this should refer to pages 61/2 which detail population growth local economy and governance.
